3 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time "You are the salt of the earth...you are the light of the world." Being Christian is not supposed to be boring! On the contrary, Jesus gave us the mission to bring flavor to the world, and to brighten things up when they seem dark and dismal. What a misunderstanding it is to think that following Christ would ever mean abandoning "the good life" or becoming dull servants of a rigid master. No, we are meant to be like the salt that brings a delicious meal to perfection. We are called to be the light that enables energy and activity. An authentic Christian is filled with life in the truest sense, filled with the One who is "the way and the truth and the life" (Jn 14:6). Joy and gratitude are really meant to be at the heart of the Christian experience. Our loving Father has given us the gift of salvation and the hope of heaven as free gifts. Because Christ has conquered sin and death, we can exult with Easter joy all year long! This is the good news we proclaim. It's not news that's meant to be whispered in a private corner. Jesus tells us to be a like a city set on a mountain, and a lamp radiating light from a lampstand. We have a mission to invigorate the world with the hope, the happiness, and the fulfillment found in Christ. Jesus said that we are in fact salt and light. The question is only whether we will "lose our taste." That of course is up to us. If we let our faith in the good news fade, we are bound to grow dull. But when we remain rooted in Christ, we will truly be able to let our light shine. 5º DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO En la liturgia de este domingo veremos como Jesús usa sal y luz para describir las cualidades de los discípulos. A la vez debemos de observar que este Evangelio usa dos metáforas con importancia positiva y negativa. Por un lado la sal da sabor pero si se vuelve insípida ya no sirve para nada. La luz es para alumbrar y debe estar en lo alto, sin embargo, si se la tapa con un cajón de nada sirve. Lo que Jesús quiere decir es que los discípulos deben cuidar y preservar la misión encomendada por él. La recomendación es que los que trabajen para anunciar el Reino deben ser fieles a la palabra con acciones donde brille la presencia de Dios en cada una de sus actos. Se necesita luz y sabor en el ministerio: "Brille la luz de ustedes ante los hombres" (Mt 5, 16). Es decir, no se vale decir que se hace todo bien y cumplimos los mandamientos, que asistimos a Misa y rezamos las oraciones, si no lo probamos con hechos. Seguir a Jesús en su misterio de morir y resucitar no es para gente débil. Cada día, entonces, nosotros tenemos que escoger entre dos cosas. El ser discípulos efectivos o mediocres. Al participar en los ministerios parroquiales cualquiera que sea y hacerlo con todo el corazón para el bien de otras personas es ser sal y luz. Ser excelentes padres de familia, buenos estudiantes y trabajadores donde brille el amor de Dios es ser sal y luz. Así que pudiera mencionar cientos de frases; sé que cada uno tiene su responsabilidad en esta metáfora que Jesús nos enseña hoy.

4 Sharing the Gospel Look around you at night in the dark. You can not see much. Then turn on a flashlight. Now you can tell where to walk without bumping into things. God wants you to be a ray of light. He wants you to show others his goodness and healing power. God wants you to warn others about evil. God wants you to lead others to heaven by your words and actions. When you love God, and you follow his example, it will show. You will be loving, patient, and kind. You will be honest and always do your best. You will work hard and share what you have. When you live for God, you make the world a better place. Prayer Jesus, help me to make a difference in the world because I love you. Something to Draw Draw Jesus shining a flashlight where your family will be safe in a storm. Mission for the Week Sow others how to get closer to Jesus by words and actions.
